Can watch CNN but not CBC or BBC [solved]

[laudire]

Hi everyone!

When I am in PCLinuxOS I can watch and hear both CNN, BBC or CBC but when I am in Mandriva 2006 I can watch CNN but can only listen to CBC ( haven't tried to BBC but cannot watch it ).

I use Firefox and I have MPlayer installed as well as; win 32 codecs, xine-win32, real-codecs, mplayer-plugins and xmms-alsa.

If I go to CBC Halifax for example and I click on one of the 2 Listen to links on the right side MPlayer comes on then I choose the broadband connection and it buffers, connect to the server, buffers again and eventually I can hear the sound. If I click on the 3rd link then Mplayer plugin comes on also it buffers for a little while and then it says STOPPED. I tried right clicking and configuring but nothing works.

If I go to CTV.ca and click on a link to watch I can get a web stream.

Can anyone explain to me what is wrong with CBC or BBC or what I could do to make them work? I should repeat that they work in PCLinuxOS and Win XP.

Thanks in advance!

No problem here. (tried with opera and FF). Guess you still havent all the codecs. :)

Well! Well! Well! Silly me!!!

I went back into MCC to make sure I had installed all the required codecs and lo and behold what did I find? Mplayer wasn't installed, only the plug-in. I'm quite sure I had installed it but maybe I didn't pressed hard enough when I clicked it. Anyway everything is working now. It makes me wonder, however, which application was used for me to be able to view CNN.
